I haven't done much birding, but since it so light I usually carry it whith the 50-250 lens when doing walks at our country house, where you often see wildlife.

I noticed the same with my new Z5, while the Z50 is totally quiet. IBIS - that makes sense.

Another alternativ is a Z5. If image quality is the goal. I just bought one in addition my Z50.

Matt Irwin said a few weeks ago in his YouTube-channel that he would test the new Viltrox 24 1.8 against the Nikon 28 2.8. Here is a first look from Ricci. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4MGF2qO7DI

Yes, the Camera Labs review was OK, but this from ephotozine was glowing. "All around, it's hard to think how the lens could be better at any price level, and where it does stand makes it a ...

I suspect a Sigma 18-35 with adapter will feel big and unbalanced. I personally would consider only lenses with Z mount for the compact Z50. There a many new affordable fast options now, with the ...

Yes, thanks. That is how I now have done it.

Is it possible to assign DX-crop to a function button on a Z5?

The most logical would be a Zf-full frame, built on Z5. It could be gripless, with a optional grip that would look a bit like the MD-12 motor but flatter, adding  a centimeter or so to the bottom. ...

We will see. In a fast paced sport like soccer or hockey where there are more than one player involved in an action sequence, I think it goes to fast for the eye to decide which player to look at. ...

When I looked at DPReviews soccer samples, I thought, well not much has happened the last 10 years. https://www.dpreview.com/samples/4327775632/surf-and-turf-canon-eos-r3-pre-production-sample-gallery

Almost unbelievable, if it works. Tests will be interesting for sure.

I have seen some of the competitions tries at software DOF in video and it looked terrible. But I think Apple is good at not launching technology until it is mature, so I am looking forward to...

That video feature with shallow DOF seems almost to advanced to be true.

I didn't mean reliability, I meant if the professionals have any concerns about distortion.

Does the professional sport photographers trust the e-shutter, or do they still prefer mechanical?

Would do double duty for me. Replace 35 for my Z5, on my Z50 a 60 mm eqv is great for half figure people shots. Think about the 58 mm Nikon F lens.

I think these looks a little odd.
24. Foot
27. Foot/ball
32. Ball
33. Leg/ball
34. Short legs???
49. Leg
58. Ball
62. Ball

If you want, you can compare possible distortions to this soccer...

Can you specify? I thought about the legs looking somewhat odd on some soccer shots, is that what you meant?

A 70-2002.8 is perfect for almost any indoor sport (and most outdoors sports as well). No need to buy expensive exotics until you mastered the use of the 70-200. Try to shot from low angle, should ...
